[sinerchris]

ok, so which fellow Atlantans (or area ppl) will be attending this event?

Anybody?

I'll be there - I've yet to meet any of you fellow ATL Progpower people, or metal people for that matter! Would be nice to!

 

[Michael TEOF]

I sure as hell would love an excuse to go down to Atlanta again.

Not sure it could happen on such short notice though lol.

Ohhhhh, I can be there after 5, I think. I'll put it on my calendar and let you know closer to the date.

 

[sinerchris]

[freakchylde]

What kind of a beer fest ends at 6? On a Saturday? Wankers.

 

[Kim K]

Is there a website for this festival with info?

 

[Pellaz]

Yeah, after 6pm on a Saturday people can leave the beer-fest and go do some real drinkin'.

ah, the "tasting glass"... it's more like a dixie cup from what i've heard of years past. wouldn't one need to be slam drunk to enjoy the likes of a "bobby yang?"

you would think the organizers would understand this critical issue.


EDIT - tolerate the likes of a "bobby yang."

 

[Rakosh]

Actually, Bobby Yang is a pretty badass rock violinist. His version of "Eruption" would make Eddie Van Halen sit up and take notice. Listen to him do "War Pigs" on his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/bobbyyang.

This is the glass from 2004. I'd say it holds 2 oz.

 

[skeksis]

He's no Apocalyptica, but my wisecrack stands corrected... one would not need to be completely lit to listen to this Bobby Yang do his rock fiddlin'. Thanks for that.

In a perfect world the person holding that glass is an 11ft giant... but you know, that's not *nearly* as bad as I'd been led to believe. So I may go to this... appreciate the added info!

 

[ReaLM]

No beer for me...

But I will be going to the Decatur Wine Festival on November 4th;
I must have drank 2 bottles myself last year
It was a blast!

Prolly 6 oz, they use something similar at the Old Dominon Beer Festival in Ashburn VA. And trust me, with the breweries bringing out their higher ABV stuff, $20 will get you a good buzz.

It really is close to 2oz. It took four and a half of those to fill a 9oz water bottle.
